Carolina Hurricanes at Vegas Golden Knights Odds, Picks and Predictions
Hurricanes Look to Continue Unbeaten Run, Golden Knights Aim to Get Back on Track
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to continue their impressive start to the season when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. Carolina is 4-0-0, while Vegas is 2-2-0.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes have been one of the most impressive teams in the NHL so far this season. They have won their first four games by an average of 3.5 goals per game.
Carolina's offense has been led by Andrei Svechnikov, who has six goals and three assists in four games. Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen have also been solid contributors, with each player recording five points in four games.
The Hurricanes' defense has also been strong, allowing just 2.0 goals per game. Frederik Andersen has been excellent in goal, posting a 4-0-0 record with a 1.94 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage.
Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights have had a more up-and-down start to the season. They are 2-2-0, but they have lost their last two games.
Vegas' offense has been led by Mark Stone, who has three goals and two assists in four games. Jack Eichel and William Karlsson have also been solid contributors, with each player recording four points in four games.
The Golden Knights' defense has been a bit of a concern, allowing 3.5 goals per game. Logan Thompson has been solid in goal, but he has not received much help from his defense.
Prediction
The Hurricanes are the clear favorites in this game. They are the better team on paper, and they have been playing better hockey so far this season.
The Golden Knights have some talented players, but they have not been playing well as a team. They will need to be much better if they want to have a chance to win this game.
I predict that the Hurricanes will win this game by a score of 4-2.
